2022 NO-TRAP DAYS: July 5, Sept. 6, 13 & 14, Nov. 22 & 23, Dec. 27 & 28 DECEMBER 20th will be limited traps (6 instead of our usual 12)
All patients will receive spay/neuter surgery, a rabies vaccination, and an FVRCP vaccination depending on age. Cats’ left ears will be tipped for future identification. Requesting that cats’ ears not be tipped will disqualify them from the program.
Surgery costs $55 for female cats and $40 for male cats. This includes 2 vaccinations for community cats in traps. Additional optional products are available at the time of surgery such as parasite treatment, FeLV/FIV testing, and microchipping. See a price list of additional services here.
- Patients are held for one night after surgery to recover. Pickup is at 7:30 am the day after surgery so they can be returned to their community.
